This quote appeared in "On the proofs of the existence of God: a lecture and answer questions" (1960) by professor Kryvelev I.A. (?.?. ?: ?. ?., 1960). And N. A.

Hume's statement occurs in Book X of his renowned Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion, published posthumously in 1779. The character Philo precedes the statement with "Epicurus's old questions are yet unanswered.…". Hume is following the enormously influential Dictionnaire Historique et Critique (1697–1702) of Pierre Bayle, which quotes Lactantius attributing the questions to Epicurus. This attribution occurs in chapter 13 of Lactantius's De Ira Dei (c. 318). Lactantius cites no further sources. Full Lactantius's quote of epicurean aporia:
